My co-worker is a fountain of misinformation!! 5/14 the day has come page 130

Wow, it's good to know there are other company's with "Cliff Clavins" working there, too. Your's is a real doozey!

But I'm with the poster who said that Cliff was actually almost always right. These "Marians" (in honor of the woman who 'cooked all the red out' of the steak) are usually wrong...but you sure can't tell them that. Don't *even* try, because then you might earn their neverending wrath.

agnes!

I have a co-worker who believes Cinderella's Castle is actually a magical religious temple and at night Disney holds secret services to worship strange deities. She calls it "Cinderella's Magical Temple"!

All hail the almighty seven dwarfs!

THANK YOU GOD !! I am not alone.

I've got one your friend's twin on the other side of my cube wall Luckily, I have an ipod and I know how to use it!

....did you know that the Disney Magic is going to be going back and forth through the canal in Africa (South America) next summer? 14 days in one direction, 14 in the other. She knows all of this because her brother used to work at WDW so she has the inside info!! (Yes, 14 days out to California, 8 weeks or so on 7 night trips to Mexico, and 14 days back to Florida....not 28 day trips!) Oh yeah, and Johnnie Rockets is on deck 9. She ate there the day they went to Castaway Cay. (Not! It's on Royal Caribbean.)

(Again, no arguing with the woman!)

Maybe she is talking about Noah's Ark? 40 days and 40 nights!

Okay, I'll share one.

When my oldest was a baby, she stayed with an in-home daycare provider. The lady wasn't always full of mis-information but she stood firm in anything she believed.

She refused to say the word pacifier and wanted them called something else.

Her reasoning? It was sexist.

It meant pacify "her" to say that female babies cried more or needed pacifying

I asked her if she would keep male babies since she referred to herself as a teacher (or as I pointed out "teach - her" ) but she didn't get it.

Still, a very nice lady otherwise

One of our co-workers is going home to China and is taking her husband with her to meet her family. So the two of them are talking, and Miss Information says, "Well are you going to Ho Che Minh City?" The Chinese girl didn't know what to say, so I pipe up with "Ho Che Minh is in Vietnam." Her response "It's all the same country."

I could have died. The Chinese girl just walked away.

I realize that these are probably mortifying to hear. But dang she gives me fits just reading her spouting!!

OMG! This is the funniest thread since Poo Watch 2006.

 

[Mouse House Mama]

Man I must have seriously failed geography because I sure didn't think they were the same.

This thread is great!

 

[KristiKelly]

Think of how bored you would be if she wasn't around.

 

[Sherri]

I imagine you days go by quite fast sitting next to someone like that.
Ask her something about Disney and post what she says (lol).

I'd get a map, circle the info in red & leave on her desk. "For future reference" ya know.

Oh My! This woman is crackin' me up. And believe me I need it this week!

Here's to more great stories.

 

[Eeyore'sthebest]

Not a co-worker but my DM's former neighbor called (drunk of course) and was complaining about the chemo and radiation, etc. So my DM asked if she had cancer. Oh, those darn cheap cigarettes gave her lung cancer. My DM asked her why she was still smoking (she could hear her lighting up). The woman told my DM that she only smoked the good expensive cigarettes now. Its those darn cheap ones that gave her the cancer, not the good ones!

So for those of you that smoke, remember to only smoke the good stuff.

If they are then so is my MIL - who uses the word PACIFIC in place of.. SPECIFIC - "Well to be more pacific....." Actually since we live on the east coast can we be more Atlantic?
